This lovely, but hazy, picture is probably the
way the memory exists in some of our minds: misty.

We will most likely never see those days again...<sigh>.

 

 

This is a crop of an Era family picture which shows the delightful poufiness most little girls embodied

 

 

Typical poufy flower girls of The Era

 

 

Denise writes:
Today at work I was looking thru some Reminisce magazines [ED: nice work if you can get it!] and in the Dec 2003 issue found this sweet photo.   Giggle, only the name matches mine - I'm not the lucky girl in the picture.   It was part of a two page article about Christmas in the 1950s and in one paragraph said 'We all dressed in our new clothes. I remember one dress with a red velvet top and a white organza skirt with a velvet pattern on it that I wore over a huge petticoat.' 
Photo is of a Denise Cassino, Conifer, Colorado."

 

 

John A.:
 "Child's nylon petticoat from the late 1950s. It just shows the beauty of the decoration and
design that  went into the original 1950's petticoats. A far cry from today's retro creations."

Jackie Kennedy and the Heart Fund Girls, en crinie
